A BRIBE orvER


Frees Heavily Hpoa SxtEss
NEW YoRK, June 29--In the Sharp'
trial, AFTER recess, Colonel Fellows. Tor tn
State, addressed the jury. reviewing the
ease and the evidence at great length
Amer he closed, Judge Barrett proceeded Il
charge the jury. he began BY saying that
this was the first time in the history Of our
Jurisprudence when man had been made
to face aehaIge Of giving bride. Both to
give and receive brides were crimes. The
court read the law ON bribery, snd went on
to say that the only direct evidence that
money had been given was that one
DeIAey had given money. IL is no.
necessary that the person charged gave the
money with his own hand DeIacy is the
fountain-bead, and all who are proven 10
be connected near TO or far away from the
fountain-head are guilty. If Delay
received the money from Richmond, and
Richmond again from Sharpe, then Sharpe
is guilty. II Sharpe had a guilty knowl.
edge and aided or ahetted in any way, then
he is guilty.
Judge Banett believed it had been
clearly shown that Fullgratf was biibed.
If the jury believed DeLacy bribed him
with $1,000, then the jury must ask who
bribed DeI.acy. ANY person who was be-
hind DeLacy in the matter was as guilty.
The Judge reviewed the contrbutoTy eyi.
dencc OF Sharp and the lobby work At
Albany to get the railroad bill passed, and
having succeeded. at once set 70 work to
get the Broadway franchise. The court
added: ellis anxiety caused him to DO |
anything TO Illustrate his opponents. This |
was Sharp's motive. He had spent life |
time in hope Of material reward. lie was |
ready to do anything TO obtain that re.
ward. This was a matter Of life and |
death te the Seventh avenue road, and as |
director he had motive while be was 10 |
obtain a personal reward in bonds which |
were to be guaranteed
The judge then took up the story Of the |
issuance Of $50, 600 worth OF bonds and the |
disposition of the money, which has been |
fully reeounled in past evidence. He told /
the jury If they had evidence, and believed /
that Kerr and FOrshay used this as cor.
ruption fund without the knowledge Of /
Sharp, then they should aequit sharp /
There is abundant evidence kattherc were
falsilied entries by Sharp himself The /
jury must determine whether Sharpe had
connection with fixing the aldermen, or
whether his use Of that expression was az
innocent one. The judge further instruct
ed the jury that they must not be in
fiueneed By the prisoners age or infrmity,
nor the by the fact that he did not take the
stand in his own defense.
The jury then retired, and an after an alb
senee OF thirteen minutes returned with a
verdict Of guilty, with recommendation to
mercy.
The aged prisoners mead dropped. He
was removed to Jail. Sentence will be
passed July 10. The penalty is not more
than ten years at hard labor, or a fine OF
$1,000, or both. A new trial will be asked.

OF the house Of representatives. today sent
by mail official notification to Messrs. Sui
liyan and FELTON,, contestant and contestee
for the scat from the Fifth California dis

cane on the 10Th Of July. Under the Law
the clerk is required to notify parties as to
when he will open the testimony. Repre-
sentative.elect Mckinney. 81 the Manches-
ter district Ia New Hampshire. in General
Clark's office several days ago made the
statement that be had never been served
with any notice Of contest by Mr.. Haynes,
his defeated competitor. Mr.. Mckinney
said that nothing in the shape OF notics
81 contest had ever been served upon him,
and as the time prescribed by Law for the
sending Of such notice had expired longago,
he concluded that the idea Of contest had
been abandoned. in The contest against
Mr.. Carlisle no testimony has yet been sent
to the clerk Of the house. The house com.
mittee on elections when it shall be APP
pointed, will have power to take up the
case, but as none OF the prelifninaries re-
CURED by law have been complied with, it
is construed in some quarters to mean that
the contest has been abandoned.

jay Gould,s Deals.

New York special: Afurther liquidation
OF the holdings Of Cyrus W. Field in the
Manhattan Railway company was made
to-day. Another large block OF the stock
was sold by him and his intimate friends,
and this transaction is believed to com
plete the necessary realizations. After the
completion Of the purchase on Tuesday Of
$4,000 shares from Field by Gould, there
was lett in Fields control something over
10000 shares. 5000 shares more than it
WAS generally supposed that he held. The
same reason that induced Field to dispose
OF the larger block OF stock impeIletl him to
request the transfer Of the remainder. It
Is Understood that syndicate Of bankers
was formed which purchased 20, 900 shares
to-day from Field and his friends at the
same price pad by Gould not less than
SLIGO per share. This makes a total
transfer Of stock by the two transactions
involving more than $4,000, 900. The
syndicate embraces bankers and houses
identified with Gould's interest, but IL also
includes, it is said on good authority, some
important foreign bankers. There IS little
doubt that a portion Of the recently pur-
chased stock will go abroad. In regard to
the story on the street to-day, that there
was deal between the Western Union and
Baltimore q Ohio Telegraph companies,
Mr.. Gould said: There has been no set
tiement or deal, and there have been no
oYertures to US to-day.

The Grown Princes Condition.

LONDON, June 29.-The British Medical
Journal says: "Dr. Mackenzie has re-
moved almost all the fungus growth that
remained in the throat Of the German
Crown Prince when he left home" The
journal adds, however, that since the last
operation the Prince has caught severe
cold, the result Of which is that his
pharynx and larynx are both acutely con-
gested, the parts in the vicinity Of the
growth being less affected than others.
Local swelling has caused some difficulty
in swallowing, but it is hoped that this will
coon disappear. The case at present re-
quires the greatest care, and will require it
for several weeks. In the meantime
surgical operations ON the Princes throat
will be suspended. Mackenzie is not
troubled at the Princes condition.
